RVM5 Voltage Control Module
Basic Level Test
Basic / +/- Band / Tolerance / High Ind / Low Ind
95% / 1% / 1%
100% / 1% / 0.5%
105% / 1% / 1%
100% / 2.5% / 0.5%
Fast Tap Down
Switch ON "1", high +2% gives tap down after 4s
Switch OFF "0", high +2% gives tap down after initial delay time
Application of voltage reduction causes fast tap down (even when switch is OFF "0")
<80% Inhibit
Basic / +/- Band / Tolerance / Inhibit Ind
100% / 1% / 87-89V
Confirm delay timer is reset to block tapping / (ü)
Voltage Offset
Basic / Band / V Offset / High Ind / Low Ind
100% / 1% / -3%
100% / 1% / -6%
Confirm Vred add switch is OFF / (ü)
Confirm applying 3% and 6% together gives 6% only / (ü)
Timers
Initial Delay / Intertap Delay / Tolerance / Time
Min / 10s +/- 0.5s
Max / 120s +/- 2s
Min / 5s +/- 0.5s
Max / 60s +/- 1s
Alarm
Tolerance / Time
